Washington - I-Arhente yoKhuseleko lokusiNgqongileyo yoLawulo lwe-Trump iqwalasela "ngokukhawuleza" imvume yesitshabalalisi se-neonicotinoid esibulala iinyosi ukuze zisetyenziswe ngaphezu kwe-57,000 yeehektare zemithi yeziqhamo eMaryland, eVirginia, nasePennsylvania, kuquka ii-apile, iiPeaches kunye ne-nectarines.
Ukuba kuvunyiwe, oku kuya kuphawula unyaka we-10 olandelelanayo ukuba amazwe ase-Maryland, eVirginia, nasePennsylvania afumene ukuxolelwa ngokungxamisekileyo kwi-dinotefuran ukujolisa iibhugi ze-lacewing ezimdaka kumapere kunye nemithi yeziqhamo yamatye enomtsalane kakhulu kwiinyosi.Amazwe afuna imvume eqikelelweyo yokutshiza ukusuka nge-15 kaMeyi ukuya nge-15 kaOkthobha.
IDelaware, iNew Jersey, iNorth Carolina kunye neWest Virginia zifumene imvume efanayo kule minyaka ili-9 idlulileyo, kodwa akwaziwa nokuba ziyayifuna na imvume ngo-2020.
"Eyona nto ingxamisekileyo apha kukuba i-Arhente yoKhuseleko lweNdalo yase-US ihlala isebenzisa iinkqubo zangasemva ukuze ivume izibulala-zinambuzane ezinetyhefu kakhulu kwiinyosi," utshilo uNathan Donley, isazinzulu esiphezulu kwiZiko lezinto eziphilayo.“Kunyaka ophelileyo kuphela, i-EPA yasebenzisa le nkqubo yokuxolelwa ukuphepha ukuphononongwa okuqhelekileyo kokhuseleko kwaye yavuma ukusetyenziswa kwe-neonicotinoids ezininzi ezibulala iinyosi zobusi malunga neehektare ezingama-400,000 zezityalo.Oku kuxhaphaza ngokungenankathalo kwenkqubo yokuxolelwa mayipheliswe. ”
Ukongeza kwiimvume ezingxamisekileyo ze-dinotefuran ze-apula, i-peach, kunye ne-nectarine imithi, i-Maryland, i-Virginia, ne-Pennsylvania nayo ifumene imvume engxamisekileyo kwiminyaka elithoba edlulileyo ukusebenzisa i-bifenthrin (i-Pyrethroid insecticides enetyhefu) ukulwa nezinambuzane ezifanayo.
“Kwiminyaka elishumi emva koko, kukhuselekile ukuthi izitshabalalisi ezifanayo kwakuloo mthi mnye aziseyongxaki,” utshilo uTangli."Nangona i-EPA ithi ikhusela i-pollinators, inyaniso kukuba i-arhente iyakukhawulezisa ukwehla kwabo."
I-EPA idla ngokuvumela ukukhululwa okungxamisekileyo kwiimeko ezinokuqikelelwa kunye nezingapheliyo ezenzeke kwiminyaka emininzi.Ngo-2019, i-Ofisi ye-Arhente yoKhuseleko lokusiNgqongileyo yase-US yoMhloli Jikelele yakhupha ingxelo efumanise ukuba imvume yesiqhelo ye-arhente yezigidi zeehektare zezibulali zinambuzane ayizange iwulinganise kakuhle umngcipheko kwimpilo yabantu okanye kwendalo.
Iziko lifake uxwebhu lwezikhalazo olusemthethweni licela i-EPA ukuba icuthe ukhululo olungxamisekileyo ukuya kwiminyaka emibini ukuthintela ukuxhaphazwa okumandundu ngakumbi kwale nkqubo.
Ukwamkelwa okungxamisekileyo kwe-neonicotinoid dinotefuran kuza njengoko i-EPA iphinda ivuma ii-neonicotinoids ezininzi zokusetyenziswa okungeyongxamiseko kwezinye zezityalo ezilinywa kakhulu elizweni.Isigqibo esicetywayo se-Ofisi ye-EPA ye-Pesticides sahluke kakhulu kwizigqibo ezisekelwe kwisayensi eYurophu naseKhanada ukuthintela okanye ukukhawulela kakhulu ukusetyenziswa kwezibane ze-neon ngaphandle.
Umbhali wophononongo olubalulekileyo lwezenzululwazi malunga nokuncipha okuyintlekele kwezinambuzane uthe “ukunciphisa kakhulu ukusetyenziswa kwezibulali-zinambuzane” yeyona nto iphambili ekuthinteleni ukuphela kwezinambuzane eziya kutsho kuma-41 ekhulwini kumashumi ambalwa eminyaka alandelayo.
